And the old man comes around the bend
With the confidence to tame an aging bull
Said he didn't have no one to hold
So he probably didn't have nothing to do

[Hook]
Today is too long for a father to lose his son
Today is too long when a father loses his son
Today is the one year anniversary, anniversary

So he made his way down to the grave
On a morning in the spring after the dew
When he closed his eyes he saw his face
But it wasn't the same son that he once knew

[Hook]
